I've been told I have a purposeful stride. Here to shout about things I like.

Watched Guardians of the Galaxies Vol 1 & 2 on my flight - Disney+ makes the perplexing choice to close caption Vol 2 with the titles of each needle drop, even going so far to caption the lyrics of “Father and Son” but the 1st movie, each song is “(Rock Music Plays)”, seems like something to fix

I am rewatching WandaVision ostensibly I guess because of VisionQuest coming up and man it was really great when the MCU had writers who respected the significance of ”The Blip”/return of the dusted characters. And Elizabeth Olsen is just so good.

Just saw #Babylon in 70mm. I loved it when I saw it on a cold Jan. 2023 day but this gorgeous showing w/a full enthusiastic crowd was next level.Jean Smart’s monologue killed me & the ending was overwhelming (complimentary). Shout out to the girls who kicked off the applause to Nelly & Fay’s kiss.

Went to see The End of Oak Street (🔥😍) starring Anne Hathaway. I come home and watch Anne Hathaway accept her Disney Legend award at #D23. On Saturday I will see The Odyssey in Imax for the third time, starring Anne Hathaway. There is One Actress.

Has anyone done “adjusted for inflation” calculations on Spider-man, Odyssey, etc regarding their box office “records”? Like I enjoyed both and it’s great it’s driving people to theaters but the numbers being higher than older movies when ticket prices have grown *exponentially* feels disingenuous
